Kojo Oppong Nkrumah calls government’s new economic policy a ‘scam’

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has sharply criticised the government’s new economic policy, describing it as a “scam” in the headline of a report about his remarks. The statement places the Ghanaian politician at the centre of a dispute over the country’s economic direction. The report does not provide further detail about which specific parts of the policy Oppong Nkrumah objected to, or the reasoning he gave for his accusation. It also does not include a response from the government or identify any official reaction to his comments. The image accompanying the report shows Oppong Nkrumah speaking at a press gathering, with several microphones arranged in front of him. A caption refers to a discussion contrasting the “paper economy” with the “pocket economy” and mentions expectations surrounding the 2027 budget. Oppong Nkrumah’s wording is forceful, but the available report offers no additional evidence or explanation alongside the claim. His criticism therefore remains a political accusation presented by the source, rather than a substantiated finding in the material provided. The report gives no indication of whether the government has answered him or whether the exchange is part of a broader debate over the policy.
